Like a wave, starts strongly, dips, comes back up, then ends back in the dip. Some tracks are too much, over played and a little onanistic.
I feel bad even thinking this, but I really didn't enjoy most of the tracks on here. I appreciate that the Beach Boys are revered and loved, but this was too lightweight for me.
Feels like an album in a world of playlists. Only slight criticism is that it may be a bit too long. How this is 15 years old is baffling.
I was ready to hate this. Not an artist I've ever heard of before, and I'd have judged this book by its cover and not picked it up. His album is incredible.
I really thought I'd enjoy this... I was wrong. Too much going on, a musical version of my ADHD before medication. Try as I might, I just couldn't finish.
Some decent tracks but didn't grab me
Solid, couple of bangers, great production. I'd forgotten how good green day are. (My god to I hate wake me up when September ends though).
It was an ok listen, I mostly got on with other things with it in the background. Didn't grab me, but I didn't dislike it.
Dull, monotone. Not for me
Real surprise, both that this is Jeff Buckley's dad, and that there are some absolutely brilliant songs on this album, sitting next to so proper 1960s fillers. Pleasant street is my favourite track, but also loved I never asked to be your mountain and Phantasmagoria in two. Albums like this are why I wanted to do this process.
Couple of good songs, but mostly a bit middle of the road.
Amazing from start to finish
Feels it's age
Not my favorite of theirs
How is this a debut album?
It's ok as background. Very consistent sound, which makes it a bit boring for me, I'm sure lots have sampled the tracks in there.
Incredible, timeless, angry, beautiful. My favorite album from a band reaching their peak
Easy 5. Glorious and luxurious. Moody but my mood lifted in listening somehow
Pithy lyrics, overly produced crap couldn't make it through. Awful.
Sounds 20 years old, but some gems in there
Interesting. It's like, I can tell a top class chef has made a shrimp dish, but I still don't like shrimp
Like an incredible bottle of red wine, warm and velvety. I don't always feel like red wine though, and I can't drink too much in one go.
As relevant now as it was 45 years or so ago. Everything that the sex pistols were and more. Incredible.
